Wheal Coates Tin Mine

The tin mines extended far out under the sea. Descent and ascent was by ladder or primitive rope cable cars. The accidents and deaths were many.

Thank you Adrian. Well the TV companies think so as Poldark was filmed all around here (both the 1975 and the recent versions). I haven't seen a single episode of either.

Oh WoW!!!! Great colours Andy! Quite sad how something that caused so many deaths and paid very little now enhances the coastline even in this state.
